ASP880 and ASP800 are both 8 channel mic pres but each offers different feature sets to suit different requirements.
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?
Retro Channels 1 & 2 feature two unique variable harmonic COLOUR
controls per channel - HMX & IRON. Designed to emulate tones often
associated with 1960’s tube designs and the coveted transformer zing
of British audio in the 1970’s, HMX & IRON will add new dimension
to your audio by providing warm, sparkly tones. Better still, you can
combine them to get anywhere in between!
